I Feel Beautiful. I Feel Strong, And

When I Was Four Years Old, I Remember Looking In The Mirror And Running My Fingers Over My Stomach And Thinking I Was Fat.

Having An Eating Disorder Doesn't Show ‘strength.’ Strength Is When Are Able To Overcome Your Demons After Being Sick And Tired For So Long. Starving Is Not A ‘diet’ And Throwing Up Isn't Something That Only Extremely Thin Men Or Women Do. Eating Disorders Do Not Discriminate..neither Does Any Other Mental Illness. These Are Deadly Diseases That Are Taking Lives Daily. So Please, Let's Be Cautious Of The Words We Use When Discussing Ed's And Other Mental Illnesses.

I Grew Up In The South Where There's Discrimination, And When I Witnessed The Judgment Around Me, I Always Thought Someone Needs To Stick Up For Not Just The Lgbt Community But Any Outsider, Anybody That Wasn't The Mold In Texas.

I Want To Get To The Point Where One Day I Don't Have To Have Anything But A Rug And A Microphone Stand On Stage And Still Be Able To Sell Out Places Like Madison Square Garden, Like Bruce Springsteen Does.

All Fear Has Ever Done Is Hold Me Back. I Have So Many Things I Want To Accomplish In My Life. For Myself And For The World. Fear Is Useless; It Just Gets In The Way Of Accomplishing Everything Overcome Fear Today And And Confront One Of Your Phobias.
